Clippers activate Lee; Gil to DL

The Clippers activated Chen-Chang Lee today and placed fellow relief pitcher Jerry Gil on the
7-day disabled list with a right forearm strain.

Lee arrived in Huntington Park after last night's game from double-A Akron. He is working his
way back from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow midway through the 2012 season.

He pitched out of the Columbus bullpen in 2011 and was a key component in the team's run to the
Governors' Cup championship and the Triple-A National Championship. He went on the DL in April of
'12 with soreness in his right forearm and had the ligament replacement surgery on June 1.

Clippers manager Chris Tremie is very familiar with Lee. He managed him in Class A Kinston in
2009 and had him again in Akron in '11. Lee pitched eight games for the Aeros this month before
being deemed ready to rise to the Clippers again. He is on the Cleveland Indians 40-man roster and
the team will remain careful with him.

"He's a one-inning guy for us right now," Tremie said. "He does have some flexibility to go an
inning-plus. But mostly it will be one inning."

Gil has pitched in 29 games for the Clippers this season and leads the bullpen with 45 2/3
innings. He has a 5-2 record with a 4.34 earned run average.
